Spectra Concepts and Terminology

Understanding Spectra's Terminology

Before you delve into building a Spectra application, learning about
Spectra's terminology is very helpful. In this chapter, you will gain an
understanding of what all the terms you will see throughout this book mean and
how the concepts they represent relate to each other. Each term and concept is
covered in much greater detail in subsequent chapters, as is additional
terminology as needed.

You may be tempted to skip some of the items in this chapter. Even if you are
a seasoned ColdFusion programmer, knowing the terminology will help you develop
the example A2ZBooks application throughout this book and your own Spectra
applications.
